I have worn my Olympus C-3040s around my neck for the last 4 years

The difference is mine is in my pocket.

(and had another camera on my hip for a year prior). I try to have it
with me at all times. I've taken it into several Wal-Marts in several
cities in two states. I have never before had a Wal-Mart
representative tell me that I cannot bring my camera inside the
store. Now, though, they tell me I can't shop there if I have my
camera.

Well, now you know. No more wearing the camera in the store.


They do that because they don't want other companies taking photos of
products placement, pricing, etc.

Always been that way far as I have ever heard.
